Hi Vorona,

I know it probably won’t help much, but do you know when (which month) in 2020 they applied?

Thanks!

Ok, two former coworkers of mine just told me that they have received decision today, both have applied in Summer of 2020. Looks like 2020 applications are now being finalised.

Thanks a mil, I did miss it indeed. :-) Yes you can email, you probably missed this post, more infor > https://www.immigrationboards.com/post2010879.html?hilit=FOI%20email#p2010879 Hi All, I went through some of the previous post, but couldn't find my answer.

Hi All,

I went through some of the previous post, but couldn't find my answer.

Do we have to post the FOI request to the relevant department or can email them instead?

Thanks

Thanks Verona. I am just paranoid that if I request an FOI too early that the department will "mark" my application and then delay my application i.e. I don't want to upset them or give them a reason to delay my application :-) Your paranoia is not unfounded. You might be right. The offic...

After how many months did you decide to submit an FOI request? I think you applied at the beginning of 2020 and I applied in June 2020. You've since gotten your approval and I am still waiting on mine. :-) I am just wondering at what point I should consider submitting an FOI. I have no plans of goi...

A veteran of 2 FOIs, I can confirm that in the last 3 years of the processing of my application, no request had been made to any foreign country/authority where I have lived in the last 9 years prior to my application. BTW, I have lived in 2 countries prior to coming to Ireland. Also, the checklist...

For those who got their approval in the last 4 weeks or so, did you get an email like others did (in January and February) or did you get a letter in the post?

Thanks

Just a questions and an observation: When you applied for EU Treaty did you disclose in your application that you were already married to another person? If you did not disclose this information it means you got your permission based on the wrong information which means if you now inform the INIS ab...

Hi Dub23, I see you've received your second/second-stage letter. Would you mind letting us know what it said - did it specifically say "second stage" of the process? Just interested as my (straightforward, based on marriage to an Irish citizen) application was submitted in March, and I ha...

Is this feature working for you?

As mentioned in my original post it seems that it is still in BETA i.e. not live yet.

return "your application is at an advanced stage of processing blah blah blah" Hahahaha! Very true, but at least we won't have to wait 3 weeks for an email response. With this functionality I will be able to check my status every day. :lol: :lol: I will be spamming the service with 100's ...

Has anyone else noticed that the INIS is working on a virtual assistant and that we will be, hopefully soon, be able to request an automated status update?

At the moment it is still in beta mode.

You did NOT make an application to SOIN. You simply visited the GNIB to get a stamp. This is NO LONGER the experience for more and more new applicants. They are being turned away and are asked to make an application to SOIN. A typical SOIN application takes more than 12 months, while a typical EU T...

An application based on EU Treaty rights is much quicker to process than an application to SOIN. Yes in most cases an application to SOIN is not necessary, but applicants are increasingly difficult to obtain in GNIB directly without an SOIN application now. Of course, there is no harm trying to get...

Just curious, on what basis are you claiming that EU treaty rights are quicker to process? This my experience with a group friends in Ireland using the EU Treaty route: - They had to complete a lengthy application form - Needed loads of supporting documents - The person with the EU passport has to b...

Unfortunately, Ireland is one of the two countries that do not accept EU Blue Card. Your husband can live in Ireland without any issues. The standard route would be to apply for a Stamp 4 based on marriage with an Irish citizen. You *might* be able to apply for a Stamp 4EUFAM under EU Treaty Rights...

Hi, As the spouse of an Irish citizen one has to apply for a stamp 4 (IRP) which allows you to live and work in Ireland freely. Getting this is quite straightforward under normal circumstances. Depending where you are planning to live in Ireland you either make an appointment with the Immigration Se...

Thanks for the replies.

Hi All, In the timelines thread there is a Second Letter step. I am looking to get some insights on the content of this letter. From the comments in the timelines thread there seems to be various different versions of this letter that goes out to applicants. I submitted my application in June 2020 a...
